A Great Falls woman is in custody after allegedly stealing a vehicle, removing her clothes and accusing the victim's son of rape before fleeing the scene of a crime.

Rickena Sue Lamere was apprehended on Saturday, Aug. 11 in connection with two stolen vehicle complaints. She has been charged with two counts of theft, one felony and one misdemeanor, and criminal mischief.

On Aug. 10 around 8 p.m., Great Falls Police Department officers responded to a report of vehicle theft on the 1500 block of 6th Avenue North. The victim reported her vehicle had been stolen from the front of her son's house. The victim's vehicle contained her oxygen tank, driver's license, food stamp card, debit card and $1,080 in cash.

Video surveillance on the property showed a woman in the area of the vehicle before it was stolen. The suspect was allegedly recorded stealing a pack of cigarettes from the victim's son's porch prior to the disappearance of the vehicle.

Though the surveillance footage angle didn't show the suspect getting into the vehicle, footage of the woman's movements and the vehicle leaving the residence indicated no other conceivable suspects, according to the police report.

At about 10:30 p.m., the victim's son told dispatch he had found the vehicle and allegedly saw the female suspect get out of the vehicle, remove all of her clothes except her bra and underwear and run away from the scene yelling "rape".

The victim's son allegedly told officers that at no point did he put his hands on the suspect.

An officer arrived in the area to attempt to locate the suspect but was unsuccessful. The suspect was later identified as Lamere and confirmed by the GFPD based on surveillance photos the victim's son posted on Facebook.

When the vehicle was returned to the victim, the victim advised officers that the money was missing, but the rest of the items were still there. The victim also told officers of new damage to the vehicle's rear passenger door.

On Aug. 11, Lamere was arrested on a separate stolen vehicle complaint. While she was being transported to the Cascade County Detention Center, Lamere allegedly told officers she was sexually assaulted the previous night.

Lamere was transported to Benefis Emergency Room and received a sexual assault kit and opened a sexual assault case with an officer.

After she was cleared by the hospital, Lamere was taken to the police station for a recorded interview. During the interview, Lamere told officers the vehicle she was driving on the evening of Aug. 10 was given to her by her employer.

Lamere told officers she picked up the vehicle next to the Vineyard Chruch, which is across the street from where the vehicle was reportedly taken.

According to court documents, Lamere told officers her employer some "special cigarettes" for her in a pouch in the vehicle.

Lamere told officers she did not see any cash in the vehicle, according to law enforcement reports.

Lamere has a pending felony charge for which she has failed to appear for sentencing on four occasions. Her bond was set at $10,000 and the State has requested a bond for the new charges be set at $5,000, consecutive.
